With senior starters Tyrone McKenzie and Brouce Mompremier moving on after the 2008 season and little proven depth behind them, linebacker figures to be an area of focus for the Bulls in recruiting. USF has already secured a commitment from Tallahassee North Florida Christian's Chase Griffiths, and two other prospects the staff has in its sights are Largo's Mike Marry and Weston Cypress Bay's Shane Gordon.

Both hold offers from the Bulls and both said they plan to be on campus later this month for the program's Super Bull senior showcase camp.
